Style: Dry Stout

Serve in English pint

12 oz bottle, tulip glass. Ginormous fizzy head is a light tan color and can beat you in a staring contest. Thick black body is nearly opaque. Roasted, coffee, pine and dough aromas are all strong. Flavors could be classified as deep and rich if they had a little more substance. Starts slightly sweet and finishes with quality balancing hops. Finish is rather short, though. Body is medium sized and of watery texture. Carbonation is WAY too heavy for a stout. There's not any good way for me to explain how wrong the over-carbonation of this beer is. Yes the head would be smaller without as much fizz, but the flavors would stronger and it wouldn't feel like drinking alka-seltzer. I'll try this on tap at some point and average my ratings, but shame, shame for now.

Lightish aroma. Firm malt body and flavor, nice mouthfeel. Dryish finish. Good roast quality.

Aroma-roasted and smoked notes. flavor very similar, but thin. appearance was without much carbonation. thin palate. nothing special

deep brown, tan head. big roasty, coffee-ish, "rum and raisin" aroma. the flavour doesn't compare to the aroma, but there is good flavour of dried fruit, milk chocolate and mocha.

Very dark brown color with a brown head. Dominant coffee bean in the nose with some fudgey/choclatey notes. Hints of light roast and fruit also present. The body smooth, just a touch of slight iron at the beginning before moving onto better things. Coffee notes and a light hop bitterness fill the middle and end. Lacking in the area of roast I though, but otherwise a nice aromatic stout.

Roasted coffee aroma, deep brown, with a small coffee head. Tastes of coffee and chicory, fine bitterness, medium bodied, a really nice example.

Dark brown creamy head. Chicory well roasted malt, rich with good depth. Some bite at front, nicely roasted coffee grains, some lighter chocolate at finish.

Opaque dark brown w/ brown head. Roasty, dry chocolaty aroma. Creamy feel. Decent flavour of roasted coffee beans & sweet chocolate. Dry, somewhat earthy finish. Though, overall, I found this beer to slightly watery flavours.
